1/12. hemangioma with phleboliths in the sublingual gland: as a cause of submental opacity.Hemangiomas are the most common lesions of the major salivary glands during infancy and early childhood. Changes in blood flow dynamic within hemangioma results in thrombus and phleboliths. There have been a number of reports of hemangiomas with phleboliths in parotid and submandibular glands. We present the first case of a hemangioma with multiple phleboliths in the subligual gland as a cause of submental opacity, and discussed the diagnosis of radiopaque masses in the sublingual and submental regions.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = gland (Clic here for more details about this article) |
2/12. Intraoral venous malformation presenting with multiple phleboliths.Venous malformations are the most common of all vascular anomalies. Phleboliths are described as characteristic of such malformations; furthermore, when they are encountered in the major salivary glands, they must be differentiated from salivary calculi. We report a case of an intraoral venous malformation in the left retromolar area with multiple phleboliths.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.14285714285714keywords = gland (Clic here for more details about this article) |
3/12. Asymptomatic lacrimal ductule dacryolithiasis with embedded cilia.We describe a case of a 32-year-old man who presented with a visually apparent but otherwise asymptomatic mass in the right lateral fornix. Computerized tomography demonstrated the mass adjacent to the lacrimal gland. The mass was surgically removed, and histopathologic examination was consistent with a dacryolith of the lacrimal ductule. There were several cilia isolated from the dacryolith. This entity should be considered in the differential diagnosis of patients presenting with a localized mass in the region of the lacrimal gland.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.28571428571429keywords = gland (Clic here for more details about this article) |
4/12. Submandibular cavernous hemangiomas with multiple phleboliths masquerading as sialolithiasis.Vasoformative tumors (almost exclusively hemangiomas) are the most common lesions of the major salivary glands during infancy and early childhood. They are more common in the parotid gland but are particularly rare in the submandibular gland. Changes in blood flow dynamics within hemangiomas result in thrombus formation and phleboliths. Hemangiomas of the salivary glands in adults are histologically unlike those in infants, the former being characteristically of the cavernous variant. Most cavernous hemangiomas require surgery since they do not show a tendency to regress. A case of an adult man with cavernous hemangioma affecting the submandibular salivary gland that clinically simulated sialolithiasis is presented to alert surgeons to the possibility of such a lesion. We describe the clinical course and review the literature.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.71428571428571keywords = gland (Clic here for more details about this article) |
5/12. An eyelash nidus for dacryoliths of the lacrimal excretory and secretory systems.We treated two patients with dacryolithiasis secondary to an eyelash. The first patient underwent dacryocystorhinostomy for a stone within the lacrimal sac. In the second patient the dacryolith was removed from a lacrimal gland ductule. eyelashes found in the tear film or conjunctival fornices during routine examination should be removed to prevent the possible occurrence of dacryolithiasis.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.14285714285714keywords = gland (Clic here for more details about this article) |
6/12. Chronic calcifying pancreatitis associated with primary hyperparathyroidism--report of a case and review of the literature.A 34 year old male was hospitalized because of severe abdominal pain and diarrhea. An abdominal X-ray revealed multiple calculi in the head of pancreas and blood tests showed his serum calcium level to be high. He underwent surgery of the parathyroid gland and a parathyroid tumor was removed. Two months later, resection of the head of the pancreas was also performed. Eighteen months after his operation there has been no recurrence of abdominal pain or diarrhea and his serum calcium level is within the normal range. We report this case herein and also discuss the possible cause and effect relationship between primary hyperparathyroidism and pancreatitis, and the appropriate management, in relation to a review of the literature.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.14285714285714keywords = gland (Clic here for more details about this article) |
7/12. Lacrimal gland ductule stones.Chronic unilateral conjunctivitis may be caused by various infectious, inflammatory, neoplastic, or mechanical conditions. Two patients with persistent unilateral conjunctivitis were cured after removal of dacryoliths from the palpebral lobe of the ipsilateral lacrimal gland. Although lacrimal gland ductular dacryoliths are rare, this entity should be included in the differential diagnosis of chronic unilateral conjunctivitis.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.85714285714286keywords = gland (Clic here for more details about this article) |
8/12. Gastric carcinoma with psammomatous calcification: report of a case, with reference to calculogenesis.A case of gastric adenocarcinoma with argyrophilic property and psammomatous calcification is reported. Histologically, the psammoma bodies are found most frequently within the glandular lumina. Electron microscopy, however, reveals that calcium first appears within the cytoplasm of tumor cells. Electron probe x-ray microanalysis demonstrates calcium and phosphorus in granular or floccular osmiophilic deposits found in intracytoplasmic electronlucent zones of tumor cells. By x-ray diffractometry, the calcium component is presumed to be hydroxyappatite (Ca5(PO4)3.(OH). The findings strongly support the view of the intracytoplasmic origin of psammomatous calcification. The tumor yielded a parathyroid hormone (PTH)-like substance, and a possible relationship between this substance and psammomatous calcification is spectulated.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.14285714285714keywords = gland (Clic here for more details about this article) |
9/12. Parotid saliva tests in patients with pancreatic diseases before and after surgery.Two patients with pancreatic cyst were treated by cystojejunostomy, two others with pancreaticolithiasis by pancreaticojejunostomy (side to side), and pancreato-duodenectomy was done in one patient with cancer of the duodenal papilla and in one patient with cancer of the intrapancreatic bile duct. All these patients made uneventful recovery. In all these cases, parotid gland function was found depressed. After the operation, four patients showed normal parotid gland function and in one patient it was abnormally elevated. Thus, as previously reported in animal experiments, the parotid gland function was presumed to return to normal or to be elevated in parallel with the improvement of the pancreatic function or lesions.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.42857142857143keywords = gland (Clic here for more details about this article) |
10/12. pseudomonas dacryoadenitis secondary to a lacrimal gland ductule stone.Infectious dacryoadenitis is a rare condition. A case of pseudomonas dacryoadenitis has not been reported previously. We treated a patient with pseudomonas dacryoadenitis secondary to obstruction from a lacrimal gland ductule stone. Histologically, the calculus contained hairs.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.71428571428571keywords = gland (Clic here for more details about this article) |
